September 8, 20214 yr These new instruments popping up allowing for crypto lending at scale does concern me a bit in the sense that an already volatile market could be ripe for the conditions in which a large bubble could be formed before borrowers begin defaulting en masse. Players like blockfi are exposed in this scenario and with it could go the money many us have with them.

September 8, 20214 yr Author Leverage is a part of every system, even more so in the stock market. I don't think it's any more noteworthy here Eyes on the prize; Bitcoin is significantly more useful and valuable than gold and yet still significantly underpriced relative to it. What happens in between getting there is just noise

Sending BTC doesn't have remittance fees Many people in El Salvador also don't have bank accounts, as well as 3 other billion people around the world. They'll gladly choose Bitcoin to do commerce and save in.

September 13, 20214 yr How do you buy this HEX coin ? I’ve got some play money to throw at it, but have never bought crypto
September 20, 20214 yr Author On 9/13/2021 at 1:23 PM, greenskeeper said: How do you buy this HEX coin ? I’ve got some play money to throw at it, but have never bought crypto 1. Buy Ethereum on an exchange (Coinbase works well) 2. Download Metamask. (Make sure you write your password down TWICE and store in different places) 3. Go to uniswap.org 4. Connect your Metamask wallet (you literally just have to press a single button to do it) 5. Send your Ethereum to your Metamask address 6. Swap your Ethereum for HEX I'm a big fan of it, just was over 3000x a couple days ago. When PulseChain launches, it will fork Ethereum and every token that runs on Ethereum, so that includes HEX. So if you buy HEX before the PulseChain launch, you'll have your HEX that's on Ethereum's network AND you'll have the same amount of HEX on PulseChain's network. It's a big deal
September 21, 20214 yr Author "Why do I have to buy Ethereum to get HEX" The easiest way to explain it is imagine Apple has a currency and you could only use that to buy anything on the app store. In order to have access to that ecosystem, Ethereum is what's used for it
September 21, 20214 yr So I threw a token amount into ETH and BTC when it dropped 10% a couple weeks ago, and they've been cratering the past 2-3 days. SHOULD I BUY MORE!??!!? YOLO!

September 21, 20214 yr If the market in general falters, it could carry over somewhat into the crypto space as people pull money out of risky assets and continue to seek safer options.
